Bargain wheels & tyres!

[fibreglasshero]

Hi Guys & Girls,
You may have missed it, but I've posted in the 'Parts & Accessories Found' section, as to how we managed to purchase two silver enamelled steel wheels ( 3.50B x 10H2 ), plus new Marshall 145/80R10 four ply steel belted radial tyres for the total sum of £72-00 vat included. An absolute bargain, when you consider our local tyre depot quoted us in excess of £100-00.
If you dare to mention 10" tyres, it's a case of tooth sucking & head shaking, and mumbled conversations about 'specialist stuff, vintage vehicles only!
We decided on the retailer simply because it was local to us (Norfolk), and for your information it is: Freewheel UK Ltd, Cornish Way, North Walsham, Norfolk, NR28 0AW http://www.freewheeluk.net , or 01692 500300. Give them a try for anything related to trailer spares, They are friendly, knowledgeable, and cheap, what more could you want!
Best wishes to all.

A good price.

Thinking laterally (quite legal, even for boring olde f**rts like me), 10" mini wheels were more than a bit popular on trailers. A surf of some of the trailer parts websites suggests that they are still rather popular and new 10" after-market steel wheels, with a 23mm offset, are readily available, with/without tyres for roughly the same price. Being produced for trailers there is no provision in the centre pressing for a hub-cap of course.

Doh! I've only been looking on eBay, didn't think to check Towsure.
